I don't know whether to laugh at the "superior intellect", or huddle up in a corner and cry because of how terrifying ideas like that really are. You'd think that these people would learn from example after example in history, but they don't. It's so depressing.

However, these reserve requirements were abolished by Margaret Thatcher in 1980 as a keystone in her free market revolution,

Wonderful.

It's as if they believe that Zimbabwe doesn't exist.

The sad thing is that when we do recover in two, three, four, five, six+ years, they'll still blame the free market for making the depression that long and praise the government for pulling us out of an inevitably deeper depression.

Great picture.

But to really "stimulate" I think Jesus should give away the fish & bread notes rather than loan them.  Also, if the people still complain that they are hungry he will have to "print more".  This will prove his stimulas wasn't big enought the first time.
